THE CHOICE BEFORE BRITISH ELECTORATE "Progressive Left or reactionary Right"

MR. MORRISON'S SPEECH

London, January 16.

វ

The Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Herbert Morrison, firing the star- ting, gun in the general election campaign, told Briton tonight that they have a straight choice between "constructive and progressive left" and "a dithering and reactionary right." Delivering the first big Labour campaign speech at Lewisham, South East

London, Ma Morrison rejected the idea of

Coalition peace-time Q Government which, he said, would be ineffective and certainly Labour would not agree to such an adventure

"

He warned voters against a Parliament in which no party has a clear ma

jority, "for we should have an unstable Parliamentary situation and the resulting Government would tend to be vaccilating and uncertain in its policy," he said.
